Charles Edward Barber papers, 1868-1916, Archives, American Numismatic Society
Engraver Charles Edward Barber (1840-1917) was born in London and came to America in 1852. He was the sixth chief engraver at the Philadelphia Mint (1879-1917), a position previously held by his father, William Barber. He is known for his 1883 Liberty Head nickel and 1892 dime, quarter, and half dollar as well as his work on commemorative coins such as the Columbian half dollar (1892), Isabella quarter (1893), and Lafayette dollar (1900). He sculpted the obverse of a President William McKinley memorial gold dollar shortly before his death (1916). He is also remembered for his opposition to the use of non-Mint artists, particularly when U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt proposed that sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens design U.S. coins
